WHITE SILENT CIRCLE THAT FADES IN BRIGHTNESS, TRAVELING SOTHWEST TO NORTHEAST AT 5,000 FEET

I HAVE NOTICED THIS ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION. A WHITE CIRCLE TRAVELING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, GOING FROM SOUTHWEST TO NORTHEAST.THE GLOW WILL FADE IN AND OUT.THERE IS NO APPARENT SOUND WITH THIS OBJECT. I USUALLY NOTICE THIS CRAFT IN THE TIME FRAME OF 2:45 TO TO 3:15 AM. THE FLIGHT PATTERN IS NOT DIRECT. IT SEEMS TO FADE OFF COURSE, THEN CORRECT ITS SELF. I HAVE SEEN THIS APPROXIMATELY THREE OR FOUR TIMES SINCE THE FIRST OF JUNE. ON THE MOST RECENT SIGHTING, THERE WERE AIRPLANES COMING FROM THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION SHORTLY AFTER MY VISUAL CONTACT (SURELY THEY HAD TO HAVE NOTICED--RIGHT ? THE OBJECT APPEARS TO BE AT AN ALTITUDE OF APPROXIMATELY 5,000 TO PREHAPS 7500 FEET.
